Treasure Chest Thursday - Teapot

1939 - 1940 Worlds' Fair Teapot

This teapot belonged to my great aunt, Kathleen G. Coyle. She lived in New York City and visited the fair several times. Sometimes she went with her sisters and once she took my mother along. Kathleen had other souvenirs: silver spoons, a glass bank and salt & pepper shakers. The teapot is my favorite because of the bright cobalt blue color. I looks like it was purchased recently, rather than over 70 years ago.

Beautiful! The Nelson-Atkins museum in Kansas City had a world's fair exhibit last year. It was interesting to see the different treasures displayed at the fairs...but I don't remember keepsakes being a part of the exhibit, so it is fun to see this!
